About: I have been personally and professionally involved with all types of pets from a very young age. Dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, fish, birds etc. I absolutely love God's creatures and hope to meet you & your furry, finny or fuzzy family member soon! 🐕🐈🐖🐇🐼🦜🦎 I currently work part time and maintain a very flexible schedule, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have reliable transportation and excellent references, and I’m energetic, dependable, and available for both early morning and evening visits. I provide care exclusively in your home, where your pet is most comfortable and can maintain their routine. I am responsible, respectful, and attentive, with professional experience, certifications, and excellent references, so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands. I offer walks, drop-in visits, transportation to veterinary appointments, and assistance with any pet-related errands, providing consistent and dependable care.
“Nicole has been amazing! We booked two visits a day to take care of our cat. She kept me posted after every visit. Luigi (the cat) was so relaxed that when we came back home, he didn’t even do the usual meowing he does when he misses us. Definitely one of the best experiences in the last 5 years! Thank you Nicole!”

“As new puppy owners it can obviously be nerve-wracking the first few weeks, especially when it comes time to first have someone else care for them. We had to go out one evening so we contacted Ryan to see if he was available. Ryan's communication was very responsive and he took excellent care of our puppy. Would use Ryan again.”

About: Hiii!! I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and truly love being around animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own whether that’s going on fun walks, giving belly rubs, or just being a comforting presence. I know how much pets mean to their people, so I’m all about keeping them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a student in college but I still make time for pet care because it’s something I genuinely enjoy. On weekdays, I’m available in the afternoons, and evenings depending on my class schedule. I always make sure to plan ahead so your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you have. In your home, I make sure to respect your space and keep everything clean and calm, so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. If they stay with me, I provide a cozy, friendly environment where they can feel right at home. Every pet is different, so I always take the time to understand their personality and needs.
About: I worked 1 year in pet boarding. And bath groomer. I cared every single breed and also cared a lot cats. It’s amazing !!!I loved it I’m available to play all afternoon. I really love spent my time with them. In the morning I have a job but I’ve arrived always early to my home. I always take care to them. Hours to eat, hours to play, to go to walk, most importantly make feel the dog comfortable and also the costumer. I am currently not working but have a few errand along the day. In the morning as soon as I wake up I would take care of the cleaning pet area, feeding and walking if needed. I would repeat the process in the afternoon. I make sure to keep everything as clean as possible, separate the pets as directed by the owners, also feed and walk (of dog) twice a day or as directed for the owner
“Ana did a great job taking care of our kitties, even though they are super shy and hid most of the time. She went above and beyond looking for them and making sure they were safe! Absolutely will ask for her help again in the future.”

“I've worked with Lori in the past and have always had a positive experience. Lori is very patient and kind toward my incredibly shy cat, and by the end of our trip, he was warming up to her and approaching - all because Lori honored his need for more space. :) Lori kept the home clean, washed all his bowls each day, and completed her visits in a timely manner. We will continue to work with Lori in the future, and highly recommend.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for many years family pets, friends’ dogs, and neighbors’ pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving medication if needed. As a parent myself, I’m patient, responsible, and always at home to give your pets the attention and security they need while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and send regular updates with photos so you have peace of mind. Pet care is a natural fit for my daily routine. As a parent, I’m home most of the day and already structured around caring for others. I handle meals, potty breaks/litter scooping, playtime, and any medication on a consistent schedule that matches your pet’s needs. I can easily adjust around school drop-offs, pickups, or family activities while still giving your pets plenty of attention and companionship. Overnight house sitting works especially well because I’m already at home in the evenings and nights. I’m reliable with communication and always make sure pets’ needs come first while fitting everything smoothly into my day. When you book house sitting with me, your pets stay in the comfort of their own home and receive consistent, attentive care. I’m home most of the day, so your pets get plenty of companionship and won’t be left alone for long stretches. You’ll receive daily photo updates and short messages so you know how everyone is doing. I follow your exact routines for feeding, potty breaks/litter scooping, medication (if needed), and playtime. I keep the house tidy, bring in the mail, water plants if requested, and leave everything just as I found it. I’m a parent myself, so I’m patient, calm, and used to managing a household. Your pets will be treated with the same care and affection I give my own family. Feel free to request a Meet & Greet so we can go over everything in person and make sure it’s a perfect fit!

About: Hello! My name is Iraya Catalina and I can't wait to have the lovely experience of meeting you and your pet! I am a performer with a love for animals, looking to make a little bit of extra income being new to the city! In terms of sitting and care experience, not only have a had animals since I was a child, I have had to house and animal sit for many members of my family and even friends, and always have a blast doing so. I am ready to provide for your pup, or cat in any way possible! I can take animals for walks or runs, take them to the many parks in the area, or just cuddle up and watch a movie with them if that’s what they prefer!! Also, because I think it is important to note how every dog is different, I have a lot of experience with skittish and anxious pups. My first two dogs when I was a child were both abused pound puppies, and I grew up with them and learned how to bring a dog out of their shell and make them feel safe and loved. I want nothing more than to replicate that with any animal that comes into my care. I would love to know, before caring for the animal, about anything that always makes them growl or make them anxious. I want your animal just as happy as before they are entrusted to my care, happier if possible! Your animal is your family and I want nothing more for its, and your, comfort and joy. Can't wait to welcome your dog into my life! I currently work a few jobs, but my mornings are usually empty. I can do late night walks too if necessary, but I’m usually busy working 4 pm - 12 am Wednesday thru Sunday. I will be attentive to your pet and make sure they have their needs covered by me! I love it the most when dogs are vocal with their needs, but I am patient and intuitive when it comes to what your pet might need in the moment.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 6 years and have lots of experience with smaller breeds, especially female dogs. I’m patient, loving, and comfortable with all different personalities, from shy and nervous pups to more energetic or aggressive dogs. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and love while they’re with me. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. For boarding and overnight stays, I’m available Thursday through Sunday and can give your pet lots of attention and care while they’re with me I live in a loving family home in the suburbs of Yonkers with my parents and brother, so there’s usually someone around to give your pet some extra love and attention. We have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to play, and I can easily crate your dog if needed. There are also several nice parks and walking areas nearby, so they’ll have plenty of opportunities to get outside and explore. I keep treats and pet essentials on hand, and we’re close to veterinary care if anything unexpected ever comes up. My miniature Dachshund is very friendly with other animals, especially cats, and I always do my best to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home

Marin went above and beyond taking care of Wyatt while I had two back to back days out of town. She was super accommodating of my last minute request, found time to do a meet and greet so I was comfortable, and went the extra mile to meet Wyatt’s needs. He’s an anxious boy still getting used to the city and Marin gave me thorough updates, cleaned up after his messes, and followed my instructions to a T. I really hope Marin becomes our go-to when I need someone to check in on him in the future.

If we could give Darianny 10 Stars we would. We have a newly diagnosed diabetic 12 dog. She wears a diaper and she needed to be medicated with insulin via syringe. Both of her needs were met with care, skill and love. She care for our dog fur babie E. and her sister P every day for 5 days. She was punctual, kind to our girls and never rushed her visit. Our dogs need to be fed and let out has well. We would highly recommend Darianny B. for your healthy pet, but more importantly, a dog who needs some medical attention. Darianny is a Vet tech, and that her even more valuable as a caretaker. We can't thank her enough and will used her again and again if she is available
Emmanuel is awesome. The buzzer at my building was broken so he stood there until someone let him in- every day during the holidays- while he had five or six other dogs to watch. Above and beyond, and my animals were fed, clean and happy when I got home. I won’t go to anybody else from here on out

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Yonkers choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
